After we got married, my husband and I had our hearts set on Japan for our honeymoon.COVID-19 made us wait two years..

I felt like the trip was less romantic because of the delay.We may not have the joy of newlyweds, but the trip was memorable and strengthened our relationship...

The prospect of postponing felt like a flock of vultures circling ominously, but health and safety won out and we delayed our wedding day to the next year...

We decided that we would go on a mini honeymoon in New York as a placeholder until we could go to Japan.. Once Japan's borders opened, we began planning our trip..

Though I was lucky to be going on such a memorable trip, I'd missed going during the actual honeymoon phase and admitting this made me feel privileged...
